Default A/C Squeek when accelerating??

I recently turned the radio down and had the top off enjoying the Texas heat and heard a peculiar squeek/rattle when doing a slow acceleration keeping the RPMs below 2,000. (yes, I know the quick fix is to fly off of the line everytime! )

Anywho, I thought it might be the belt, but after lubing and checking and troubleshooting I found out that the sound goes away when I turn the A/C off. As soon as the A/C is back on, the rattle is there on takeoff. Any ideas for the mechanically challenged?

My guess is you need new belts. Either the belt is worn, orthe tensioner isn't holding the belt tight enough.
